DETROIT -- Dwayne Washington took a handoff to the left and with a burst of speed, the rookie running back got to the outside and up the sideline for a 58-yard touchdown to likely seal his chances of earning a spot on Detroits opening-day roster. Meritan Shabani Jersey .Jake Rudock probably boosted his chances, too, with three touchdown passes to help the Lions close the preseason with a 31-0 win over Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.So many guys played well, Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said. Itll make it tough on us in terms of making decisions.With Washington, he seemed to make it an easy choice for the Lions to find a spot for him on the team as a reserve running back and contributor on special teams.Washington, a seventh-round pick from Washington, had a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and scored on a run earlier in the preseason, leading to the Lions cutting Stevan Ridley last week.Once he gets a crack, he can do something with it, Caldwell said.Like a vast majority of starters on both sides, Washington watched much of the game after he ran for 68 yards on seven carries.Rudock made the most of an extended opportunity to play with starter Matthew Stafford sitting out and Dan Orlovsky playing only in the first quarter.Thats huge for a quarterback, Rudock said. You can kind of get in a flow and into a groove and you start to see things.Rudock lofted a 2-yard TD pass to Jay Lee to give Detroit a 17-0 lead late in the first half. He drove Detroit down the field late in the third quarter, converting third downs with his arms and leg, and scrambled to buy time on a 10-yard TD pass to Jace Billingsley, who snagged the ball with his left hand. Rudock connected with rookie tight end Adam Fuehne on another TD pass, putting the Lions up 31-0 midway through the fourth quarter.That was a really disappointing game -- just a stinker, Bills coach Rex Ryan said.Ryan seemed determined to get his team on and off the field as quickly as possible, trying to limit injuries and to avoid showing future opponents anything to help them game plan. It didnt go as planned, though, because he had a handful of players go down with injuries.Buffalo ran plays out of the wishbone early in the game and punt returner Greg Salas called for a fair catch once in the first half even though a Lions player wasnt within 15 yards of him.ROOKIE WATCHBills: QB Cardale Jones entered the game early in the second quarter after EJ Manuel was just 1 of 5 for 10 yards. The fourth-round pick from Ohio State struggled, but Ryan blamed the offensive line more than Jones. We could have had Jim Kelly in his prime back there, and he wouldnt have had a chance behind that protection, Ryan said. We basically didnt get to see anything other than him running for his life.Lions: Rudock may give the franchise a young quarterback to develop behind starter Matthew Stafford and veteran backup Dan Orlovsky. He has shown the ability to make plays and limit mistakes this preseason, much as he did after a slow start under Jim Harbaugh last season at Michigan.POSITION BATTLESBills: CB Sammy Seamster stunted his stock, missing a chance to tackle Washington before he sprinted down the sideline and getting beat on Rudocks first TD pass.INJURY UPDATEBills: RB James Wilder walked off the field after being hurt while covering a punt and was evaluated for a possible concussion. DE Jerel Worthy was helped off the field in the last minute of the first half. Worthy was evaluated for a concussion and cleared to return, a good sign for the Bills, who need depth on the line with DT Marcell Dareus missing the first four games for violating the substance abuse policy. TE Blake Annen (neck), S Colt Anderson (foot), OT Marquis Lucas (ankle) also were injured.Lions: Did not announce any injuries during game.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Manuel Neuer Jersey .

Serge Gnabry Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. http://www.fcmunichpro.com/Kids-Thiago-Alcantara-Jersey/ . Deulofeu injured a muscle in his right leg in Evertons 4-1 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday. Barcelona says that its team doctors will "co-ordinate" with Evertons medical staff as Deulofeu recovers.Dwight Howard never grew comfortable playing with Kobe Bryant and for Mike DAntoni. Once a wide-smiling, fun-loving big guy, Howard lacked that joy in Los Angeles. The Rockets are confident hell find it again in Houston. "Were going to get a smile back on his face that hasnt been on it for a couple of years because of various things, injury and maybe the team situation he was in at the time," general manager Daryl Morey told Comcast SportsNet Houston. "Hes going to have a smile back on his face." The Rockets were the ones beaming Friday, thanks to Howards choice to take less money in hopes of more happiness. "Ive decided to become a member of the Houston Rockets. I feel (its) the best place for me and I am excited about joining the Rockets and Im looking forward to a great season," Howard wrote on Twitter. He leaves behind an extra $30 million and an offence under DAntoni that he was never fully pleased with, joining a Rockets team that could become an immediate contender in the Western Conference with the All-Star centre in the middle. "Years of work by Dwight & Rockets went into this. This team is going to be special," Morey tweeted. USA Today first reported earlier Friday that Howard would join the Rockets, where he will team with All-Star James Harden to give the Rockets a potentially potent inside-outside combination. That didnt quite end the Howard saga, which has dragged on a couple of years. Howard spoke again with the Lakers amid reports he was changing his mind. Turns out, he was just saying goodbye. "We have been informed of Dwights decision to not return to the Lakers," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a statement. "Naturally were disappointed. However, we will now move forward in a different direction with the future of the franchise and, as always, will do our best to build the best team possible, one our great Lakers fans will be proud to support. "To Dwight, we thank him for his time and consideration, and for his efforts with us last season. We wish him the best of luck on the remainder of his NBA career." Dallas, Golden State and Atlanta were the other suitors interested in Howard. But it was the Rockets, who brought Hall of Fame centre Hakeem Olajuwon with them when theey made their pitch to Howard on Monday, who beat out the other teams. Sandro Wagner Jersey. And now Howard will follow the likes of Olajuwon and Yao Ming in Houstons middle. The deal cant become official until July 10, after next seasons salary cap has been set. The Rockets can give him a four-year deal worth about $88 million, a year less and far below the $118 million the Lakers could have offered. The Lakers acquired Howard last August from Orlando as part of a four-way trade that also included Philadelphia and Denver. He averaged 17.1 points and 12.4 rebounds in 76 games, good numbers but far from his usual dominant play in eight seasons with the Magic as he played his way back into shape following back surgery. He wasnt a natural fit in DAntonis system, had what appeared at times to be a strained relationship with Bryant and acknowledged not having fun at times. Bryant apparently wont miss him. Though he took part in the Lakers meeting with Howard on Tuesday, the five-time champion posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Pau Gasol, the Lakers remaining big man, shortly after Howards decision. Howards awkward departure is right in line with the confusion thats followed him over the last few years. The No. 1 pick in the 2004 draft was one of the NBAs most popular and likable players, an Olympic gold medallist who led the Magic to the 2009 NBA Finals -- where they lost to Bryant and the Lakers. But he decided a couple of years later that he wanted out of Orlando, and the Magic eventually gave his agent permission to negotiate with the Nets, Mavericks and Lakers about arranging a trade. Yet Howard would later agree to not opt for free agency, remaining with the Magic for the 2011-12 season. Howards season ended prematurely when he needed back surgery, and Orlando finally dealt him to Los Angeles. The Lakers season was a disappointment, with Bryant, Gasol and Steve Nash all missing time with injuries. They never developed any chemistry, getting swept in the first round of the playoffs by San Antonio. The Rockets believe hell find that chemistry in Houston. "We have good teammates. Theyre young. Theyre guys who are great not only on the floor but off. Hes going to get along great with our team," Morey said in an interview with Comcast SportsNet Houston.
